Owen Wilson takes jab at Urban Meyer for not recognizing him

“Who are you?” Meyer asked Wilson.

“Owen,” the actor responded.

“How do I know you?”

“I’m on your team.”

Wilson was asked whether he thinks Meyer knows who he is now, to which he responded that he still doesn’t think so. The coach has since retired from football and is now an analyst with FOX Sports.

Urban Meyer accuses Florida State of quitting while defending Billy Napier

Former Florida and Ohio State coach Urban Meyer has been around a lot of high-level football. And the Gators might be inconsistent right now, but Meyer just witnessed the team play some high level football in a win over LSU.

It led him to praise Gators coach Billy Napier while also taking a dig at the former Florida rival he still refuses to call by name.

“I’m going to tell you something, I’m a fan of coach Napier, and here’s why,” Urban Meyer said on The Triple Option podcast. “I don’t know him, I met him once or twice. They’ve been obviously really struggling, but the one thing they have not done like the team in Tallahassee is quit. They have continued to fight.”

As far as barbs go, that’s a pretty brutal one from Meyer.

Florida State, of course, has struggled to a 1-9 start this season after going 13-0 and winning an ACC title prior to bowl season last year. Florida has had its own issues since then, sitting at just 5-5 with two games to play.

Still, Urban Meyer likes what he’s seeing out of the Gators right now.

“I hear comments made by their excellent quarterback DJ Lagway,” Meyer said. “I see things, I hear things obviously and I still know a lot of people down there. The Swamp was electric. I think Ole Miss is walking into a hornet’s nest here.”
